PRESS RELEASE
We within the APC Caucus of the NASS (SENATE) obtained and want to reply to the Press Assertion issued by our distinguished colleagues within the Minority Caucus as learn by the Senate Minority Chief.
We within the APC Caucus completely reject the various incorrect assertion contained within the stated press launch. Certainly, we’re fairly conscious of the position of the opposition in any democracy. Nonetheless, the assertion by the PDP Caucus has gone too far given the great working relationship within the ninth Meeting and particularly with the Minority Caucus.
In any democracy, the rights to current criticisms and issues on the state of the nation’s affairs are unassailable. Nonetheless, whereas we respect such rights; which include obligation and accountability, we’re involved that the assertion issued by the Minority Cuscus is able to over- heating an already charged polity by which males of excellent conscience and patriotism are anticipated to behave as leaders and Statesmen.
Whereas we acknowledge the pure disposition of taking part in politics, we’re fearful and disturbed that our colleagues are taking part in with lives. The unlucky state of insecurity; for which the Senate has constantly debated and issued resolutions to help the actions of the chief below the management of President Muhammadu Buhari within the overriding curiosity of the general public, is simply too delicate to play with.
In all our deliberations, the complete Senate together with the minority had mentioned exhaustively in a really strong, clear and patriotic taste to reach at our concrete resolutions. A working example is the present invitation to have interaction the service chiefs.
Moreover, we take exception to the unlucky cost that our President has not been seen. That is false and low cost politics. Mr. President and repair – chiefs are meticulously busy every single day and each evening in deliberations with a view to addressing the safety challenges throughout the complete nation.
Equally, Mr. President had at all times made assertion to Nigerians on all main safety incidences and assuring Nigerians and certainly the worldwide group that he would proceed to do his greatest in ensuring that the safety challenges are tackled head-on.
We need to guarantee Nigerians that Mr. President is in control of authorities and is discharging his duties rigorously and patriotically. It’s a well-known indisputable fact that the Federal Authorities below the PDP refused to spend money on the safety infrastructure of the nation whereas Mr. President below the APC led Authorities had massively invested on this regard greater than any previous governments and we’re assured that the nation will surmount its present safety challenges.
Moreover, it should be famous that the worldwide economic system is in turmoil triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and Nigeria’s is just not an exception. The Federal Authorities is conscious of the challenges and is working to massively get the economic system working for Nigerians by means of agricultural intervention initiatives, infrastructure growth initiatives and social interventions to cut back the pains of the financial downturn on unusual Nigerians.
We subsequently name on our distinguished colleagues and certainly all Nigerians to hitch fingers with us as we proffer options to this hydra-headed safety challenges. In doing so, we need to guarantee Nigerians, and the worldwide group that the rule of legislation can be revered and the rights to political opposition assured. We ask for help and steady constructive criticisms as envisaged by the tenets of our participatory democracy.
We reject and dissociate ourselves from all and any inflammatory statements that seem to threaten the authority of Mr. President and our occasion. We accordingly, want to remind them that blame recreation and threats of “constitutional measures” are unwelcome and won’t assist in any type to handle the challenges the nation at present faces.
Lastly, the APC Caucus strongly and unreservedly helps the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as we proceed to work in addressing the financial, well being, social, safety and different challenges that beset our nation. We sincerely search the continual help and understanding of all Nigerians on this regard.
Thank You.
God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
